I suspected as much about that facility. Can you speak more about it? For adjudicated youth? Contracts involved?
What are the locals primary complaints?
Thanks for posting.

Guess not huh? How's the equine program coming along now? What about the chapel?
Anyone?"

I have no new news regarding the Chapel but I was looking over some old Lakeside Reflections and I found one dated July 2000.
"Hidden Lake Academy kicked off it's chapel fundraising campaign this month with a mailout to parents of current and former HLA students, along with other supporters of the school.
... To date, Hidden Lake has received a total of $75,000 toward the $950,000 needed for the new chapel, and has been promised an additional $10,000 for every $100,000 that is raised. The school hopes to raise the necessary funds to proceed with construction by the first of next year. "
It goes on to talk about how you can make tax-deductible donations and to thank people who have already donated.
So if they started Fundraising in July 2000 how much do they have now?

John Doe 1) came here with a very troubling history and equally troubling psychological evaluation. He was constantly involved in trouble including physical assaults on other students. He finally attacked and threatened to kill another student and the on-call clinical staff was called to evaluate him. She determined he was not only sincere but determined to actually try to kill the other student, and signed the order to have him committed to a psychiatric hospital. He did not return to Hidden Lake. The educational consultant who referred him to Hidden Lake was its owner, Len Buccellato.

It is amazing. It is also an incredible derreliction of duty and unethical to its very core.

"I was called a liar and other viscious epithets when I reported that these events transpired. HLA staffers flooded this site with lies and insults, but, once again, I was right on the money with this information.
Every thing I have said about these incidents has been objectively and factually verified. Obviously the sources at HLA who "leak" this information are far more credible that the management who consistently denies that these events ever happened.

Jane Doe 1) had trouble here from the beginning, with most of her incidents involving violence. Finally, she was complicit in an elopement that culminated in the physical, and, by all indications, sexual assault on another student who was hospitalized for several days due to her physical injuries, especially internal injuries in the pelvic area. Then, rather than being dismissed immediately, she remained enrolled here for another month. The educational consultant who referred her to Hidden Lake was (Consultant 1).

Finally, we have (John Doe 2). Why in the name of Heaven this boy was ever even considered for admission to Hidden Lake is beyond me. He should have been in a padded cell in a psychiatric prison, and we knew it going in. It's difficult to distinguish his psychological evaluation, which was done by Len Buccellato and Brad Carpenter, from that of Hannibal Lecter's. Yet, in spite of first hand knowledge that this boy was not only totally inappropriate but dangerous, he was approved for admission and attended for a full year, interspersed with hospitalizations, until withdrawn by his parents. The educational consultant who referred him to Hidden Lake was (Consultant 2).

If you want to know how this place operates, just follow the money. It all becomes quite clear at that point.
We are beyond denials now. Why won't HLA offer a credible explanation for these egregious unprofessional behaviors?"

Parents should be demanding answers to these questions. They need answering.
